LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 50 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: IN THE GLIMMERING SUMMER MORNING
Last Line: THOU MOURNFUL AND PALE-FACED MAN!
Subject(s): FLOWERS; GARDENS & GARDENING; SUMMER;

IN the glimmering summer morning
I pace the garden alone;
The flowers are whisp'ring and speaking,
But silently wander I on.

The flowers are whisp'ring and speaking,
My form with compassion they scan:
O pray be kind to our sister,
Thou mournful and pale-faced man!
